Tom is always there to help his neighbours, whether it's money on the slate or investigations into criminal activities.Tom, an ex privateer, lives above the tavern with his son, Jonathon, (a love-lorn writer of the local newspaper). Tom's recently married daughter, Rose and her husband George, also live in the tavern. However, the arrival of baby Billy, has caused great upheaval in the cramped conditions they share.
But Tom is occupied by another arrival in town - a government sponsored assassin. Rumours fly around the community that the assassin is out to gun down the abolitionists. They are trying to bring an end to the slave trade and rich pickings for every fat merchant in Liverpool. At least the Captain's love life with Sarah Collins, a celebrated actress from the Theatre Royal, is more settled. Until rumours of an alleged affair with the Duke of York (younger brother of Prince Regent) begin to circulate. Unfortunately, Tom's life gets more complicated, when the assassin guns down a prominent member of the maritime community.
